Self Care
I honestly didn’t even know what that really was. I'm 50 years old and its taken me this long to realize that I matter just as much as everyone else. And while I may not have been the first one to plant that idea in my head, I am the one who perpetuated it for so long....

Negativity
It costs nothing to be kind. Seriously, how do people still not get that? Saying something kind, nice or uplifting to someone literally COSTS NOTHING! It doesn’t detract from you in any way, so why are some people so heinous?...

The Beginning
When I started on Plan, I didn’t tell anybody. Not because I was embarrassed, but because I wasn’t really sure it was going to work. Some of that was because I didn’t really know much about the plan, didn’t really know anyone on plan, and let’s face it, it could have been a gimmick. But more importantly, I thought I would fail. To be frank, I don’t have a great track record of success when it comes to dieting or maintaining my weight. I was a Yo-Yo PRO!...

BMI…FYI
The BMI chart. My arch-nemesis. The single greatest blow to my ego in written form. To be blunt…. I hate that f&*^!!ing CHART! I started with a BMI of 47.1 or “very severely obese”. At 287.2 pounds, I certainly didn’t need a chart to tell me that....

I scream, You scream, We all scream for….
What? If we’re not screaming for ice cream, what are we screaming for? That’s been a really challenging part of this journey for me. Food has played such a huge role in my life that I really wasn’t sure how to live without it. Don’t get me wrong, I eat. I just eat whole, healthy foods, not the crap I used to....

About Me
I’ve struggled with my weight my entire life. I had periods of being thinner, and periods of not caring. Life was not only a yo-yo, it was a life of extremes. I was either eating in a super strict manner (and feeling miserable and like I was punishing myself) or I just said, “screw it’ and ate whatever I wanted, indulging in whatever I felt like eating, WHENEVER I felt like eating it. Throw cancer into the mix and it was very hard to want to “diet” when you’re in pain, just trying to get through the day, limited in what you can physically do, or just plain scared....

Skinny Shopping
I always used to think “If I was skinny, I'd have great style”. At 287.2 pounds, I didn’t have a lot of options. I took what fit, what covered my body, and what was available....
